Thanks for the info MrBean. That was the main problem I was having, just couldn't get the motor to turn right know matter how I hooked the wires up. Got them working thanks.
Not sure what a L/R driver is but I'm using a homebuilt driver board called a Piker 3x from John Kleinbauer's web-site. Not sure if he still has the schematic up. I got the schematic with the set of plans that I bought from him.
The driver board just uses basic step/dir commands from the printer port. Nothing fancy. Output transistors are tip120.
Thanks again for the info. Hope to have my machine up and running soon. |
